Dune, Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet and ... Bordeaux? Kyle MacLachlan Gets Serious About Wine
•
If you’ve turned on your TV in the last 30 years, you’ve seen Kyle MacLachlan: Think “Twin Peaks,” “Sex and the City” and “Desperate Housewives.” But when he’s not starring in Hollywood, he’s wandering vineyards in Washington. This week, MacLachlan joins us for memories from the set of “Blue Velvet,” the food of “Twin Peaks” and the reason why Napa Valley isn’t the be-all and end-all of American wine. Plus, Sandra Gutiérrez leads a tour through the foods of the Spanish-speaking world; Adam Gopnik delights in witnessing true culinary mastery; and we prepare a Seoul-style Kimchi Fried Rice.
